Pearl Jam - Vs. - 1993 - Ep. 33 Memorabilia Podcast
-
- Music Commentary
Another magnificent album from the 90s for episode 33 of the Memorabilia Podcast and another 30th Anniversary celebration. Pearl Jam's second LP release arrived on the 19th of October 1993 with much anticipation and didn't fail to deliver. 'Vs.' (pronounced versus) has a very different sound and vibe to their debut album 'Ten', and we look at the lead-up to the recording of the record, provide a track-by-track analysis, and we both rate the album out of ten.
We discuss the results of our poll amongst a Pearl Jam fan group, asking which of their albums released in the 90s is their best record, and we select our favourite tracks on the LP.
In our look back at what was in the UK singles and album charts at the time of release, there's a real mixed bag featuring Bjork, INXS, Dina Carroll, M People, Meatloaf, Nirvana, The Spin Doctors, Prince, Def Leppard, The Wonderstuff, The Pet Shop Boys, and Go West.
There was an equally diverse mix of films in the UK box office top 10, including movies starring Tom Cruise, Patricia Arquette, Harvey Keitel, Sam Neil, Jeff Goldblum, and Harrison Ford.
Our Top 3's this week are albums featuring animals in their artwork, including LPs by The Bluetones, Blur, Marc Almond, and The Sultans of Ping F.C.
